Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is quite brief and could benefit from more elaboration on the hobby itself. Consider expanding on the different aspects of skiing you enjoy, the challenges you face, or the personal satisfaction you derive from it. Adding details about your experiences and feelings will make the response more engaging and demonstrate a higher level of fluency.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there's noticeable repetition and self-correction. The structure is a bit rambling. Improving fluency would involve smoother transitions and a more concise delivery. Consider practicing speaking more naturally and reducing filler words like "and" and "so".

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The use of "gold skin" instead of "skiing" shows a lexical gap. Expanding vocabulary related to winter sports and hobbies would improve the score. Consider using more precise and descriptive language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors, such as incorrect use of articles and tense inconsistencies. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Focusing on accurate grammar and sentence construction is crucial. Review grammar rules related to articles, tenses, and sentence structure.
